It’s time to get outdoors and enjoy the beautiful Okanagan sun, and thanks to the new Regional District of Central Okanagan parks guide, you’ll never find yourself bored this summer.
On Thursday, RDCO announced the publication of their Summer-Fall edition of “Your Guide to Regional Parks,” and it has everything you need to know about activities, events, and programs coming up this season.
“The Guide contains the handy ‘Year at a Glance,’ which provides a month by month listing of programs and activities at the EECO located in Mission Creek Regional Park, and in many of the Central Okanagan’s 30 other Regional Parks. There’s also a colour map showing Regional Park locations and some of the features and amenities that are available in each,” said RDCO Communications Officer Bruce Smith.
“With summer fast approaching, parents of youngsters age three to seven may want to check out the dates, times and registration information for this year’s ‘Summer Nature Camp’ program, which takes place mornings during July and August in Mission Creek and Bertram Creek regional parks. Registration for the program begins on June 1st and spaces fill up quickly,” added Smith.
The guide also details the RDCO Take a Hike program, Adaptive Adventure walks, and a number of other hikes available in Okanagan regional parks.
“We’re continuing with our special ‘Families in Parks’ events that will engage every member of your family. You’re also invited to join our ‘Parks Fun Zones in Lake Country’ program, with games and activities on Fridays during July and August, alternating between Reiswig and Kaloya regional parks. We also have our free, drop-in ‘Summer Story Time’ each week in Mission Creek and Gellatly Nut Farm regional parks,” said Smith.
The new Regional Parks Guide is available anytime online or you can pick up a copy at the Regional District office, 1450 KLO Road. Copies of the guide are also available at the Environmental Education Centre for the Okanagan in Mission Creek Regional Park, as well as at any local government office, recreation centre or tourist and information centre.
